Highly doubt they'd be using GPS for anything more than putting them in the right neighborhood. Edit: Looks like someone ex-Cruise confirmed this ITT

This was a talk to be given to the Google News team vis a vis their editorial choices w.r.t caste in India. Can’t think of a more important talk to be given to them tbh.

This. I wish more polls had an importance/salience correction factor applied. It would significantly tilt most polls.

If that was a replicable strategy, that would be amazing. The averages say otherwise and I would bet continue to do so if we check-in, in a decade.

By export, I mean export inter-state. Boise property prices are definitely going up due to SF’s housing dysfunction.

As long as going to the same bar as your boss during happy hour leads to a promotion, career progression + economic opportunity will be tied to geography. Barely any companies operate like Gitlab does. Demographic decline is a much bigger p

Right, the government should make sure housing is available at all levels. Presumably it’ll have to do very little to make sure luxury housing is available.

Having had lived in urban areas all my life, American urban cities are criminally under built. There is sooo much room for growth (note room doesn’t mean land, it means airspace). If you have a pastoralist dream, feel free to build rural

High construction in Idaho does nothing for housing in New York. National construction rate averages are pointless. Gotta break it down by geography and locations of (in-person) jobs.

I really think most of the solution is in the first part of your plan. There’s no need to micromanage tenant-landlord relationships or setup governmental panels on who historically deserves to live where, if the government can just make sur

Housing prices are high in places with construction because the places without construction are larger and are forcibly exporting demand. It’s all about supply.

Well now I'm curious, is the claim that photoreal-ness doesn't matter when training network for the real world. Weird.

Awesome to see the default format for the dataset be Gazebo, but doesn’t the material rendering system not compare to photoreal results from Blender? Interesting choice.

Yes, LVT solves problems at multiple levels (removes barriers to zoning reforms and incentivizes more productive use of land). It’s also politically difficult to get passed. However, it seems if we were to try to turn the tide on just one p

The reform of zoning laws (atleast in California) is blocked by property owners sitting on low-tax properties. Raising the land value tax would be a surefire way to make the opposition disappear as property owners would have to scramble to

Speaking of which. Is there a good self-hosted version of Google photos and by which I mean the critical features that make Google Photos so attractive: a) very good mobile sync b) creepily good contextual search (search by people, places e

I like what culdesac is trying: https://culdesac.com/ If we could only scale and therefore make this cheaper.

This is a massive failure of imagination. I moved into a new 5 by 1. Don’t even know who lives above me (never heard em). Sound Insulation has come a long way. There’s a lot that can be done to add autonomy and privacy to the condo living.

Land is a finite resource but housing units are not. Once America gets over it’s love affair with single family homes, we could undercut most speculators by just building up.

Looks like a much better response to white walls/texture less surfaces.

I’d be curious what geoscientists can do with (smaller, non-topological) 3D scans of geological features!

I really wish there was an "executive" graduate degree for people like you. Executive MBA's exist for people working and wanting an MBA, I feel like a software engineering degree could work the same way. Sure it would take tw

I’ve been using caveaday for a couple of months with middling results (I think because there’s too many people there now). Excited to try this out!

FWIW, they explain exactly how they'll make money in the website (under Pricing) and in this thread.

We went from Jira to Tara (with Notion in the middle), and the problem is everyone thinks they need Jira, and a huge swath of people really don't. Jira is a complex product and those complexities are probably needed by some people. OTO

People love BeautifulSoup, but I've had better luck with fully emulating a browser with Selenium. While more complicated it seems to run into less issues. Is there a rule of thumb as to when to use one over the other?

We've been experimenting with Rally on/off for a while. A lot of other attempts at this try to replicate physical space for larger groups (avatars wit WASD controls etc.), and that seems unnecessarily ham-fisted shoving a 3D exper
